Under such strong firepower, the army of the Middle-earth Kingdom collapsed directly, and only a small part of the reserves were still stubbornly resisting, which did not change the trend of defeat. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

As the Tianhan line infantry approached step by step, there was not a moment when a soldier from the Middle Earth would die.

Eventually, they couldn't hold on any longer and were driven out of the Greenwoods.

Naturally, the commander of the Tianhan army could not let go of these soldiers, as long as these tens of thousands of soldiers were eliminated, it would not be so easy for the Middle Earth Kingdom to recover.

The two sides soon launched a fierce battle in the mountains dozens of kilometers east of the green forest.

The purpose of the Heavenly Han Kingdom was to completely annihilate the other party and invested almost all of its troops, while the Middle Kingdom wanted to take advantage of the terrain and counterattack the Heavenly Han Kingdom.

Each has its own purpose, and if it fails, it will be doomed.

This battle lasted for a week, and I have to say that the soldiers of the Middle-earth Kingdom are really a hard bone.

The mountain changed hands repeatedly, and both sides suffered great losses.

The 30,000 troops invested by the Tianhan Kingdom have lost nearly 10,000 people in total these days, while the 200,000-strong army of the Middle Earth Kingdom has suffered 100,000 casualties.

Originally, the proportion of casualties was higher, but the army of the Middle Earth Kingdom took advantage of the terrain and made the three legions of the Tianhan Kingdom pay a lot of price.

This was met with bloody revenge from the commander General Huang, and dozens of rifled guns were brought up and bombarded indiscriminately on those hills.

The trenches above were directly blown to pieces, and the infantry of the Middle Ground Line inside was also a blur of flesh and blood.

However, the firepower of these rifled guns is not very strong, and it is still difficult to cut down the entire mountain, and it is still very troublesome to destroy the enemy's position.

But this situation did not last long, maintaining a large army, but it required logistical support.

General Huang had sent a small force around the mountains the week before, and their task was to defeat the logistics of the Middle-earth army as hard as possible.

Over the course of a week, this small force dealt a serious blow to the logistics of the Middle-earth army, and they had to pay a great deal to transport supplies to the front line.

Even if a large number of troops are sent to escort them, they will still be attacked, hindering the efficiency of transporting supplies, which is already inefficient, and now it is even lower.

As a result, the front-line troops in China began to run out of food and ammunition, coupled with the indiscriminate bombardment of the Tianhan Kingdom every week, and in this situation where there was no hope of victory, the morale of many soldiers had already become problematic.

Many troops have begun to refuse the order to serve as the main defense, they know that whoever goes up is going to die, no matter how the officers in the middle block the news, after such a long time, the soldiers at the bottom can still know.

Even many basic officers in the Middle East also had war-weary thoughts, in their opinion, the enemy they faced was too terrible to be able to win, so why should they hold on to such a broken mountain.

The soldiers at the bottom didn't care how important this hill was, they didn't want to spend their lives defending a place to die.

At this time, the main attacking corps of the Tianhan Kingdom launched another attack, and the defending troops collapsed at the first touch, leaving only a small force to resist desperately.

The courage of this small force was indeed commendable, but their actions had no effect.

Their friendly forces have been withdrawn and will no longer send support, and it is simply whimsical to want to independently resist the Tianhan army.

In just half an hour, this dangerous place, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack, was finally taken.

The Heavenly Han Kingdom marched all the way, standing in several towns of Kinoshita Castle, and was soon able to occupy Kinoshita Castle.

……

In the palace of the capital of the Midearth Kingdom, the city of Dishi, the battle report from the front line finally reached here.

King Charles and the nobles in front of the palace sat at the council table with serious expressions discussing the information they had received these days, and the atmosphere of the whole palace became solidified with the arrival of the information.

The army of 200,000 people, which they had built up at great expense, was broken up in just a few months, and the remaining troops were less than 50,000.

While soldiers can be recruited from among civilians, these recruits also need to be trained, or they will be cannon fodder.

The main thing, of course, is that the entire treasury is already beyond its means.

It is true that there is no money in the treasury, but the great nobles at the parliamentary table are rich lords, and as long as they are willing to pay, the army can still be maintained.

"Your Majesty, this time the enemy is menacing, we cannot be defeated, we should seek peace." Duke Shayi spoke.

He was the most powerful person in the room, and even King Charles had to refer to his opinion if he had any major absolutes.

Hearing this, Charles's face froze, he naturally knew that he was suing for peace, but if he sued for peace again and again, did it seem that he, the king, was too weak.

The other nobles did not consider Charles' idea and responded to Duke Shayi's proposal, but only a few nobles opposed it, and some remained neutral.

There was no way for Charles to agree to sue for peace, and he was able to become king, but with the help of these nobles.

This also makes him now tied up with his hands and feet, and small things can still be decided, and this kind of big things must take into account the thoughts of various nobles.

Now the strength shown by the Heavenly Han Kingdom is too strong, if they keep capturing it, they will capture Kinoshita Castle.

Using Kinoshita Castle as the front fort, you can threaten the entire Middle-earth Kingdom, which makes those nobles not panic.

Now we can only rely on seeking peace, giving up some of our interests, and looking for opportunities to compete with the Tianhan Kingdom.

After the peace was decided, Charles naturally did not explain it like this, as the supreme commander Bill who had lost the battle, he had to be punished.

It's just that from the information he gets, Bill seems to have died on the battlefield.

In this way, Charles can make it difficult for him to attack, even if Bill made such a big 'mistake' as the supreme commander, he still died heroically.

However, it is difficult to escape this catastrophe with Bill's family, although they will not be wiped out, but suppression is necessary, compared to a few years later, Bill's family will disappear.

The other nobles also had no opinion, hundreds of thousands of troops were defeated, this was a big crime, and no one could come out to bear it.

The council was soon over, and Charles was so heavy that he didn't know what to say, it had been his worst years.

In order to ensure the success of this peace quest, in addition to giving away a large amount of money, even his daughter has to be compensated.

It is better to marry far away, but it is better to use the enemy as a hostage, and marrying can only be regarded as death.

Charles's eldest daughter is married, and this eldest daughter is smart enough to know how to protect herself and doesn't need to worry too much.

Not only that, but the eldest daughter also quickly gained the trust of King Os, and got a lot of useful techniques from him.

But Charles only has one little daughter left, not to mention the young age, and not as scheming as the eldest daughter, who is very pleasing to him.

This is also the reason why Charles is reluctant to sue for peace, but there are some things that he cannot do if he wants to......
